Princess Cruises Adds 3rd Voyage to 2026 Total Solar Eclipse Itinerary

Princess Cruises has added a third voyage to its highly anticipated 2026 Total Solar Eclipse itinerary series: a 14-night Mediterranean & Adriatic with Total Solar Eclipse cruise onboard the Enchanted Princess.

Departing roundtrip from Rome on August 4, 2026, this journey will blend the magic of a rare celestial event with immersive exploration across Southern Europe’s most iconic coastal cities. 

“Adding Enchanted Princess to our 2026 solar eclipse lineup allows more guests to be part of this extraordinary moment at sea while exploring breathtaking Mediterranean and Adriatic destinations,” said Terry Thornton, Princess Cruises Chief Commercial Officer.

“With limited availability on Sky Princess and Sun Princess, we’re excited to give our guests a new opportunity to be part of this rare astronomical event aboard another of our spectacular ships.” 

The new Enchanted Princess sailing joins two other eclipse-focused Princess cruises onboard Sky Princess (August 8, 2026, from Southampton) and Sun Princess (seven-, 14- and 21-night itineraries departing from Barcelona and Athens).
